Free and accessible by 4WD road, boat, or foot, Saguaro Cove sits within Tonto National Forest as a no-frills dispersed site with no facilities on-site. Road access has been an issue: one reviewer found the OHV trail gated and closed, so confirming current conditions before the drive is worth the effort. Summer heat is a known factor here. Pack everything in and out, and check with the Forest Service on trail status before visiting.

Remote Camping

Takes a little 4 wheeling to get there or you can access it from the water.  Basic dispersed camping but gets a little warm during the summer months.  Views are nice and its a nice pack it in, pack it out spot.

No Camping!

OHV trail to get to location was closed with a gate & sign confirming there is no longer any access. You can essentially hike 1 hr to the area but cannot overnight park in the recreational parking lot.
